I might be being persnickety, but what brand are the original flash drives? I'm actually in the market for a new USB drive, and I'll see about getting one of these if I can.

Where did you find this information? I can't seem to find it anywhere but here.

and, for what it's worth, I take pride in my vocabulary.

I'm the shipping hub for the usb keys, so I took one out of the box and ran lsusb -v on it

iBertus · 2008-10-31 04:20:21

I'd be in the market for an 8GB one, or maybe two 4GB ones.

I have a neverending dilemma when buying things online: 1) Is it possible to ship it to Sweden, 2) How much more will it cost to get it shipped to Sweden (Are $5 enough?) and 3) How much longer will it take?

He ships to Sweden, I've ordered one of the 8 GB ones and was $45.50 + $5 shipping.

Ah, very well then. Once I get $45 in order, I'll be ordering one.

Er... it should have been $45.50 including shipping; did I get confused and overcharge?

Its $40.50 + shipping for the preorder price which ends today. Tomorrow it goes up to $45.00 + shipping. After Simo has shipped the first few keys I may increase or decrease the shipping price if my initial estimate seems to be too high or low.

No guess it was me stressed out at work and not reading the mail correctly

strankan · 2008-11-12 08:54:34

Any news on shipping dates yet?

neotuli · 2008-11-12 09:36:06

first shipment is going out later today.

MindTooth · 2008-11-12 22:26:34

Hmm. I would really love one. Just thought the design of the pen itself was not that good. Would we eventually see another design?

I really don't know; they are a huge initial investment for me, so it depends how quickly these ones sell. If there seems to be a lot of interest I may get more in the future. We've sold about a quarter of the first batch; unless sales *really* pick up I doubt I would buy more stock until at least a year has passed.

MindTooth · 2008-11-12 23:10:15

Then I guess I have to order one now, and when new versions arrive, order them as well.

crouse · 2008-11-20 10:52:46

Got mine about 3 days ago, thanks
Been using it daily now. Much nicer than my older 4gb one was.
